finnleo Posted December 2, 2017 Welp, just another Iori here just in time for december, and some Azone santa and other stuff to throw into... but first naturally the traditional default getup shots first... But a few forewords I guess are in order... First why Iori and not Yayoi? This was actually a bit of a tough decision since by my general rule of character dolls, that if its a character that I know, I preferably have to like it... and technically I didnt like either. Yayoi is too bubly, and Iori is a bit of a rich kid, well.. technically she is a rich kid. but in the end, since Anastasia's look didnt warm me up (due to my own in house faux Ana at the moment), I actually liked Yayoi's outfit a bit better, but I still went with Iori, since she's afterall still a Kugyuu character in the actual animated series (yes, there is Xenoglossia, but that is a slightly different sort of canned beans), and is humorously kept in check by Miki who calls her Deko-chan constantly due to her prominent forehead, with the natural comedic annoyance of said nickname... A few words about the DDP body ... I dont think its anything revolutionary, if anything, it seems like a streched MDD-1 with sorted joints, and tighter fitment of the upper bust to the lower torso. But now atleast there is a color-perfect option in the 50cm body range for volks heads, if not the price difference being a bit annoying compared to a Obitsu-50. But I do love the swiveling wrists that came with Iori, which made my decision to get more for my other ladies quite easy. But one annoying feature about the DDP hands is that they seem to be the same size as normal DD hands, but their inner molding is made smaller, so a normal sized DD hand will slip in further over the wrist joint, and be very loose. Anyways, Here's the photos which might have a tad too much yellow tint again, since I threw every bigger light I had at this set, and one that I took out of storage had one extra warmer bulb that was enough to annoy the camera... anyways.. here-ya-guu: deko000 deko001 deko002 deko003 deko004 deko005 deko006 deko007 deko008 deko009 deko010 deko011 deko012 deko013 deko014 deko015 deko016 deko017 thanks for looking.

Shailara Posted December 2, 2017 I personally really like the ddp and especially the swiveling wrists!! Your girls looks great ^_^ I'd love to see her in azone clothes :3 I thought the ddp hands are somewhat smaller... I had seen photos next to DD hands and they were smaller...

finnleo Posted December 3, 2017 I'd love to see her in azone clothes :3 I thought the ddp hands are somewhat smaller... I had seen photos next to DD hands and they were smaller... Thank you very many. The hands are minutely smaller, but nothing like the difference between normal DD, and the deka-DD hands. So for instance the holding type DD hands dont look too out of place, other than they start to cover up the wrist without any funny business... not really interested in buying another bespoke set of hands considering the pricing. it might take time for the azone outfit shots, since mostly all of what I had gotten recently are for larger busts, and they look ridiculous on Iori's S-bust.

Meguchi Posted December 5, 2017 Iori was a good choice and nice set of poses as always Rie Kugimiya is still my favorite VA; now we just need a Kagura MDD or DDP lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted December 6, 2017 Thank you very many ... I forgot to mention that I also went for iori since im still considering a xenosaga momo which I thought looked a bit close to yayoi also... as for kugyuu favoritism, I have too many voice actresses that I like to pick an absolute favorite ... though if going by a flavor of the month mentality I currently would approove of a Misaka Mikoto DDS, Shirai Kuroko DDP duo from Railgun/Index just for their banter ... (although I've always had a small plan for a Misaka-Sister DDS ... which never comes to fruitition) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EverTravler Posted December 21, 2017 Oh my, she is quite the "idol" in these shots. Great lighting. From her eyes to her outfit, from the background to her hair band, every reflects and highlights just right. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
